Comments Thread For: Andre Ward Gets Off The Floor, Decisions Sergey Kovalev

[Mushroom]

I've now watched the fight 3 times with the sound off. I have Ward winning by 1 round. Most of rounds Kovalev won were obviously more clear but that doesn't mean he won the fight. Could have gone either way though....

Kovalev didn't even want to celebrate after the 12th round. He knew it was close and then pretending afterwards he was shocked and cry foul. Ward handled it diplomatically post fight... But damn he went in hard with those body shots.

A joke is that "casual box fans" call that decision a joke. Ward won at least 6 rounds and it was a close fight by any means.

You don't win a fight solely for a knockdown at the beginning. You win a fight by points or by a knockout. PERIOD.

most of the crybaby's who are whining are Golovkin fans

which means that most of them are Pacquiao fans

which means that those clowns should have learnt that lesson about a decade ago LMAO

they are a slow bunch

I start off with rounds 3 through 8 because I gave Kovalev the first and second rounds so we need over six to at least make a valid argument that this was not robbery. ( I should be done with this tomorrow with the rest of the rounds. )

Now I understand that you Kovalev stands don't follow certain aspect in the fundamental judging criteria of the sport of Boxing such as defense and ring-generalship so I made it easy for you guys : I focus on the notable clean punches ( from both participants since thats all you are concern with right? ( of course...) and even gave your boy Kovi a break and included the punches that met Ward at the end of the punch and just grazed him -- I could of cut them out but that would interrupt the flow and surely you would of suspected that I'm trying to deny him points, not so....I trust you are honest and understand what clean punching is so please use your acute discernment in reviewing these clips...and try to be fair.

Note: that Kovalev initiates much of the clinching early on the fight but as Ward starts to get the better of him in that department he relents as the fight progresses. I also like to point out that If I included Wards proficient/masterful display of defense in making Sergay look foolish missing by a mile trying to hit the mark and much more ring-generalship I'm sure the true pugilist of this board would appreciate such skill but I'm dealing 'Krusha fans doe' so wootz da point?...please remember I am being generous to this broken down rusted euro-bot made in Cami-Russia.

BUt you don't reward kovale for his defense. He got hit less than ward. Ward ran, that's not good defense

My take on why ward won

kovalev won that

Ok, many people think Kovelev won the fight but let me tell you why he did not. It takes Elite top Judges to see what Ward was doing and did. There is a difference between a hold and a clinch. Ward, being an elite fighter when inside when able was moving his hands pounding Kovalev's Body.
Then one second after they break (if the ref did not say break) Ward popped Kovalev with a fast hook to the head.
Body Blows are Power punches and should count. Also to be sure he would not be called for a low blow when inside he was low and he punched hardest with the hand on the opposite side of the ref's view. This is also commanding a fight or Ring Generalship and Only an elite fighter who has got elite Judges and a excellent referee can do this and Ward did. Second, when you talk about Ring Generalship that includes the intangibles that are specific and different in every fight. When Ward was stunned in the first and knocked down in the second most were thinking we are headed for a short night. No, Ward being the Champ he is fought back and found a game plan that did frustrate Kovalev. He will get any close round from 3 on just for showing that determination. Also, while Kovalev seams to have massive power it seems like it is in his right hand only. Does he have a left hook? or uppercut? NO and he got in with a fighter who knows how to work off his opponents weakness in this case he circled away from the right even though a right handed conventional fighter usually likes to move to his left. Ward out thought Kovalev real bad. Kovalev was one dimensional and that was to stand straight up follow a guy all over the place and just try to land that big right. He has done that to many but when this came to the cards again that hurt him too. Ward was just a better thinking mans fighter and was not dirty as it takes two to Tango. He was smarter and faster.
